They did not sing the lyrics "Deutschland über alles" but song 64 "Zion's Glorious Hope" (Zions Herrliche Hoffnung) from the Bible Student's songbook was sung to the same tune of Haydn that was used for the German anthem. The Songbook was in the songbook from at least 1905, the tune was used for the German anthem from 1922. Hope that helps.

Tell Simon why we want JWD to stay... our apprecaition...

by burningbridges in

ok, i'll start, maybe if we can all tell simon our reason why this site means so much to us he will reconsider and leave it here.

this site has given me the courage to speak out.

i used to be ashamed of my history with the witnesses.

I just came from my elder's meeting

just to review, i had my meeting today with the two elders who say a sister has accused me of "grinding" with her and thus porneia.

so i printed out several of your comments on how to defend myself.

i felt good about standing my ground, and repeating that i had not "grinded" with this ex-friend and that she wants to ruin the relationship i have now with the sister i am dating.. however, the two elders today really tried to pressure me.

While I have some doubts about this story (reminds me of Trevor) I would like to point out that the Pay attention-book states: "If there are two or three witnesses to the same kind of wrongdoing but each one is witness to a separate incident, their testimony can be considered. Such evidence may be used to establish guilt, but it is preferable to have two witnesses to the same occurrence of wrongdoing."
